Mom Season 6, Episode 6 recap: Is Jill and Christy’s friendship over?

This week on Mom, Christy fights with Jill over the money she owes Jill. Meanwhile, Bonnie finds a new addiction: tattoos.

If you need a refresher on last’s week’s episode of Mom, check out our recap here. Otherwise, I’ll just jump right in with Season 6, Episode 6’s happenings.

Bonnie and Adam bicker back and forth in the kitchen because they can’t decide on what movie they should go watch. Christy, who is caught in the middle, really just wants some peace and quiet so she can study. Tammy, in the process of retrieving her lost chapstick, uncovers some water damage behind a bookshelf and accidentally pulls off a chunk of drywall.

After the movie, Bonnie and Adam get some ice cream and take a nice stroll. While passing a tattoo shop, some young men crack jokes at them about being old. Bonnie, who never likes being the butt of anyone’s joke, wheels Adam into the shop, insisting they get “his and her” tattoos, aka each other’s names.

Over at Jill’s house, Christy finally has a place to get away from Tammy’s noisy remodeling project. But she soon gets wrapped up in Jill’s lavish lifestyle, enjoying bottomless smoothies and crab rolls served by an English maid. Jill, after showing off her new $3,000 crystal-emblazoned swimsuit, asks Christy about her monthly $75 repayment (from last season’s gambling fiasco). Christy, who forgot about it that month, begrudgingly says she’ll have to give it to her the following day.

With a new tattoo, Bonnie is riding high on the adrenaline. Anxious to see how her fiance’s turned out, Bonnie rips off Adam’s bandage to discover he wimped out after only two letters, spelling “Bo.” Adam, trying to save face, insists that he’s called her that forever.

When they go inside the apartment, they find Tammy in the middle of cutting out a new drywall panel. While Adam is relieved the water damage was being taken care of, Bonnie wasn’t too thrilled by all the construction.

While enjoying a beautiful day out by the pool, Jill gets another visit from Christy. Having had to work a grueling shift, Christy comes up with the money she owes Jill that month. Jill, pocketless in her jeweled swimwear, hands the money to Belinda, her maid, and tells her to go get a facial.

Christy, angry that Jill just gave away the money so quickly, argues that she shouldn’t need to pay her friend back anymore. After shouting back and forth with each other, Christy pushes Jill into her pool. Unfortunately, the swimsuit she was wearing wasn’t meant to get wet, and Jill has to call for Belinda’s help to get out.

Back at the apartment, Tammy is just finishing up the plasterwork when Bonnie gets home sporting a new rose tattoo on her hip that “took twice as long and felt twice as good.” Soon after, Christy gets home and barely has time to complain about how much she hates rich people before Jill shows up and tells her side of the story. Taking it outside, Jill reveals she doesn’t care about the money, she was only making Christy pay her back every month to keep her friend from relapsing and possibly start gambling again.

At a gambler’s anonymous meeting, Christy talks to her sponsor Ned about the situation. While she feels it’s best for her friendship with Jill to just move on, Ned believes she it would be better if kept making payments on her debt.

That night, Bonnie reveals she got another tattoo. This time its a bumblebee to go along with the rose. Next up, she wants to get a huge portrait of her face on her lower back.

Going to Marjorie for help, Adam is worried Bonnie might be getting some sort of buzz off getting tattooed, signaling she might relapse. Refusing to accept Marjorie’s advice that he should go to an Al-Anon meeting to get support on how to live with an alcoholic, Adam storms off to the tattoo shop to stop Bonnie from getting inked again.

At the tattoo shop, Bonnie’s artist is about to begin when an older woman comes in to get some new work done. Seeing how tattoos look on an aged body, Bonnie backs out. Right after she made that decision, in comes Adam forbidding his wife-to-be from making this mistake. But, in the middle of his rant, Adam realizes that he’s made this all about him, and heads off to find an Al-Anon meeting.

Later, at AA, Tammy lets it slip that, in the process of fixing some rotted floorboards, there might be (read: is) a big ant problem at the apartment. Meanwhile, Jill and Christy make up, deciding not to let what happened between them ruin their friendship.

What did you think of this week’s episode of Mom? Tammy sure is handy to have around, isn’t she? I’m glad Christy and Jill could put their fight behind them and make up. Could you believe “Bo” almost got that horrible tattoo? Let us know what you want to see next week! Sound off in the comment section below or shoot us a tweet @HiddenRemote!
